rman cloning on a different host seprated 350miles

I have been reading about duplicating a database using rman. We are
doing our rman backups directly to tape using Netbackup media
mangement. The target database (our production dB) and the duplicated
database is seperated by 350 miles

What I'm trying to learn is if I can ship the tape to where the
duplicated database will live, tell NB about the tape and then do the
duplication process
will it work ?
